If \(A=\begin{bmatrix} a & 0 & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & a & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & 0 & a \end{bmatrix}\) ,find the value of |adj A|.

Answer»

|adj A| = |A|2

[ ∵ |adj A| = |A|n-1, where n is the order of matirx.]

\(=\begin{bmatrix} a & 0 & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & a & 0 \\[0.3em] 0 & 0 & a \end{bmatrix}^2\)

= (a3)2

= a6

[∵ Determinant of a triangular matrix is equal to the product of its diagonal elements].
